Boycott Nestle!

The Nestle Company in the Philippines has been the source of several strikes and labor union-related deaths. The Nestle Company is responsible for the murder of about 30 picket leaders and union organizers since the Nestle Cabuyao factory workers and their union launched their strike on January 14, 2002. (However, there was another major strike in 1989, resulting in the death of union leader, Meliton Roxas.) With the backing of a corrupt government under former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, the Nestle Company has been granted impunity for terrorizing various communities in the Southern Tagalog region of the Philippines.

After about a decade, the Nestle workers continue to strike for fair labor conditions and wages. In solidarity with them, we ask the public to BOYCOTT all Nestle products listed below. Please check the There’s Blood In Your Coffee website for the latest updates, and SUPPORT FAIR LABOR PRACTICES!
